Chapter 199: The Craftsmanship of the Ancestors

"It's unlikely, isn't it?, animal skins are not metals, how can they be kept for so long?" Qin Mubai asked with some surprise.

This was not his intention, although Qin Mubai had already known in advance that this thing might come from the Han Dynasty, after all, it was given to him by Han Xin and Huo Quzhi personally, but now that he got this result, Qin Mubai was still a little shocked, because the animal skin is the fur of the animal, how can it be preserved for two thousand years!

Of course, it is not completely impossible, people's mummies can be preserved a few years ago, and animal skins are also a kind of organic matter, and it is normal to preserve them for two thousand years.

"This is also what amazes us, we have tested a small piece of animal skin, there seems to be some preservatives on it, but the specific formula we have not been able to restore yet, but it is already certain that it is indeed more than 2,000 years old, and it seems that it has been used, as for how to preserve it so completely, then we can't verify it now. Hu Xingwen said very simply.

"Then Professor Hu, what do you mean by calling?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"Although I don't know if these animal skins were obtained later, but this is already an extremely powerful testimony, if these two swords are really the Han Dynasty's general saber, this will be the most important discovery in the archaeological history of our country! So, I want to ask, Xiao Qin, are you interested in taking it out, of course, we will mobilize special funds." Hu Xingwen said very simply.

Not all antiques must be handed over to the state, if you dig them out of the ground now, there is no way, but if they are your ancestors, then the Palace Museum will not be able to snatch them directly from your hands, not to mention, the cultural relics in Qin Mubai's hands are all brought back from Singapore.

This is even more important, you must know that although those cultural relics were brought out in history, but in modern times, even if they are overseas, Qin Mubai brought the cultural relics back from overseas, which is very important!

However, when Hu Xingwen said this, he still had some apprehension, because if these two swords were to be auctioned, they would definitely be more valuable than those two sets of ancient books! The swords of the Han Dynasty! Moreover, they were still preserved in the way they are now, and they can almost be used to kill people! This is too against the sky!

It is difficult to draw conclusions about the high level of craftsmanship without careful study, but none of these shows that this is a miracle! If you don't believe it, a sword that is more than 2,000 years old! You find one that is so intact! You must know that they have seen those two swords before, and even if they have pulled them out, there is no rust on the blades inside.

That's the greatest miracle.

Many of these ancestors' crafts can't be studied at all now.

"Yes, if the price is acceptable, I'll sell it to you. Qin Mubai pondered for a while, and he directly agreed.

Now he is still in the poor people, far away from those rich people, these cultural relics left in Qin Mubai's hands will not be well preserved at all, and left in his hands, that is, he just takes a look at it himself, it is better to hand it over to the state, in this way, no matter if it is placed in any museum, there will always be countless people to study, protect, and appreciate these cultural relics.

And these cultural relics will also be passed down gradually as part of the cultural heritage.

"Okay!ha, Xiao Qin, don't worry, although we may not be able to give the price after the auction, we can't let you suffer too much. Hu Xingwen said very simply.

"Okay, by the way, Professor Hu, you just mentioned Tang Yin, it just so happens that I have recently fulfilled some of my ancestors' requests, there should be a batch of antiques to be sent to me from Singapore, and there seem to be Tang Yin's paintings in them. Qin Mubai simply made a bottom in advance.

"Okay, if it's a fine product, we'll help you identify it by the way, Tang Yin's paintings are widely circulated, you can auction them directly, and I'm embarrassed to buy them from you." Hu Xingwen said with some embarrassment.

The main thing is that it is definitely impossible for the Palace Museum to give the price on the market, which is lower than the market price, and the antique thing, at least a little lower, is estimated to be hundreds of thousands, if the level is high enough, then maybe there will be no millions, Hu Xingwen is not embarrassed to pit Qin Mubai.

"Okay, then thank you, Professor Hu. Qin Mubai smiled, he didn't say anything else, if it was possible, Qin Mubai didn't want to sell all the antiques to the Palace Museum, you know, if there are some fine products, maybe there will be a house missing, or even several houses are possible.

After hanging up the phone with Hu Xingwen, Qin Mubai hesitated, and asked Tang Yin tomorrow to see if this guy had painted the picture of the Spring Palace.

You know, these paintings that are very famous in history, and then lost, these things have great cultural value, and of course, they also have market value.

So, we have to hurry up.

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai simply fell asleep directly, and Qin Mubai woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, but after he went out, it was estimated that the other side had not woken up yet, and after calling the hotel to send breakfast directly to the room, Qin Mubai went directly to knock on the door.

After about ten minutes, there was soon movement in the inner room, and then Tang Yin and the three girls walked out of the master bedroom one after another.

"Mr. Tang, we still have important things to do today, so. Qin Mubai didn't wait for them to speak, he spoke directly.

"Oh, okay, then you guys go first, I have something to do today. Tang Yin immediately understood, and turned directly to the three women.

Qin Mubai walked over directly, and then handed the prepared things to the three women in his hand and said, "You take these first, go out for a meal, and make a beauty or something." ”

Qin Mubai handed over the money, Tang Yin's words just now made the faces of the three girls a little ugly, after all, they didn't get any substantial benefits, and now Qin Mubai directly gave the money, although it was wrapped in paper, but they could see from the thickness that the price was very expensive.

Although this night was ridiculous enough, the money was not good.

"Then Xiao Tang Tang, let's go first, if you are okay at night, call us." One of the girls quickly smiled and waved her hand at Tang Yin and said.

"Okay. Tang Yin also nodded.

The three of them didn't struggle, and they didn't have any other ideas, they all got the money that Qin Mubai handed over, and then quickly packed up their things and left.

There is not much money in their paper bags, 30,000 yuan per person, but this money is also a lot, at least for these girls, 30,000 yuan a night, which is already a high income, and they are also very happy.

After they left, Tang Yin immediately said embarrassedly: "Mu Bai, I'm really embarrassed. ”

Seeing that Tang Yin's old face was a little red, Qin Mubai immediately said with some jokes: "It's okay, I can only say that you are amazing." ”

"Hahaha, this is a must, we are also frequent visitors in the Qinglou for many years. Tang Yin immediately laughed proudly.

"Old Tang, I'm going to ask you something, have you ever painted a picture of the Spring Palace, called the Merry Picture?" Qin Mubai immediately asked.

"Yes. This is my pinnacle work, and it's famous. Tang Yin immediately said with some pride.

Qin Mubai was speechless, well, in fact, Qin Mubai has never seen what the ancient Spring Palace picture looks like, I don't know if it is very yellow and violent, but in fact, these have become works of art in modern times, as if many domestic people have seen some foreign paintings of women with open breasts and breasts, but they are very expensive and incomprehensible.

The same is true for these spring palace diagrams.

"Do you have anything in your hand?" Qin Mubai immediately asked.

"What?, do you want it?" Tang Yin asked a little strangely, "In this way, anyway, I said that I will give you all my paintings, simply, I will give them to you in advance, and I will prepare them now." ”

After saying that, Tang Yin went back to his room, but soon, Tang Yin came out again, "Okay, Mu Bai, my paintings are estimated to be sent to you soon, a full set of works." Tang Yin said very simply.

Qin Mubai was a little speechless, someone sent it over? Is this a direct delivery from King Chu Jiang's side?

But since Tang Yin said so, it means that someone must have sent it, Qin Mubai immediately thought of the last time Qin Licheng called, could it be that he would turn to send it back directly from abroad in the future? If this is the case, then Nima Qin Mubai is still afraid of a bird.

The origin of these things must be fine.

"Okay, so be it. Qin Mubai thought about it and decisively agreed, this matter is not something that Qin Mubai can decide, but Tang Yin is willing to give his paintings to Qin Mubai, and these paintings are probably not of much use to him.

"By the way, Mu Bai, I'm very inspired now, I want to paint, I don't know if I can buy materials here. Tang Yin asked again.

The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched, my God, you were inspired overnight? Why don't you draw a picture of the Spring Palace directly in the morning, right?

"No problem, none of these materials are a problem. "The materials for painting are too complete in modern times, much more complete than in ancient times.

"No, no, no, I want materials from my period, can you buy them?" Tang Yin shook his head very dryly, "I have used your ink and brushes, I think there is still a difference with ours, and the paper is not right, I am still used to using our pen, ink, paper and inkstone from that period." ”

Qin Mubai was a little sore in the egg, didn't you just draw a picture of the Spring Palace? Damn, this is quite a high requirement, where can I buy the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from hundreds of years ago for you?

"I don't have a place to buy it for you, where can I buy it for you from hundreds of years ago?" Qin Mubai felt a little painful.
